Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December '7, 1911. Serial No. 664,452.

To all whom, z't may concern Be it known that I, .lViLLiiiM H. SCOTT, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Nen York. in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Making Neckties, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

'This invention. relates to neck ties and has especially for its object the production of au efficient method for producing said neck ties fiom a single sheet of material .cithout allowing any waste in the cutting 0I said tics. l.

Another object of this invention is .the production of an eliicient tie which is cut Jfrom a single sheet of material and is formed. of a plurality of strips connected together soas to have, the pattern of the tie continued on the iowing endsl thereof.

Tn the accompanying drawings, like characters of reference indi'eate like parts in the several views, and: Figurel l is a plan view of th.` rectangular sheet from which the tie is made showing how the pattern is woven or printed thereon. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the tie showing thel sectionsas the same are stitched in their first step. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the completed tie.

'By .referring to Fig. l it will be obvious lln/it/theltie is formed from a rectangular ,sh/eet which sl'icctis especially woven to aclconimodate the different sections which are to be cut therefrom. Ineweaving or printing the sheet as disclosedin Fig. 1 a wide border indicated by the numeral l is formed upon one end and extends for a short distance along one side thereof.` The opposite end is also provided with a border 2 whichr border extends for a short distance upon the opposite side of the scarf.l The body of thc pattern covers the remainingr portion of each side as disclosed in Fig. 1. The body of the pattern runs at an angle approximately 45"` to the side er'lges of the sheet out. of which the tie is to be made and when laying ofl` the scarf or; sheet for the neck tie this line is continued diagonally across the sheet thereby forming a dividinglineat an angle approximately 45" to the side edgt` ofthe scarf or Asheet for separating the plain border from the. body of the design woven or printed upon the. sheet. For convenience this dividing line which practically sep-- crates the two sections hereinafter referred to will be indicated by the numeral 3. By means of this dividing line the scarf is divided into two separate sections and'a line is drawn diagonally across the primary section 4 as at o, and this line tapers toward one side of the scarf and continues out to the edge of said scarf where the body of the design extends entirely to the edge of the scarf without allowing for any border. This line is extended across the border and forms a guide for the cutting of uthe main section of the scarf which will be indicated by the numeral 6. An additional line 7 is indicated upon the scarf at the proper distance from the line 5 and this line termition S. This will thereby leave a separate section 9 whiclrwill form an intermediate section for securing the primary and auxiliary sections of the tie together as will be hereinafter described. After one half of the scarf has been so marked as above 'described the remaining half of the scarf is in like manner divided by means of lines having similar numerals as above described with reference to the first mentioned section and these line's form tapering sections for constituting an additional tie. It .will theret'ore l'iel'obvions that by means of the method whcreliy a special scarf is printed or woveny and is cut in a special manner as described two complete ties are produced without any waste of material.

Tn Fig. `Zthere is disclosed a tie as stitched in its trst step wherein the main section 6 is stitched to the border portion 10 of the intermediate section 9. This intermediate section 9 has its angled side 11 stitched to the inner end 12 of the primary section 4. ln. the final step the tieis finished in the usual manner around its edges where it is -so/necessary by reason of the cutting Of the It is desired to emphasize the fact that the ties are formed first from a sheet of printed or Woven material especially karranged for accommodating the Cutting of the different sections for eliminating any waste which might occur by so cutting the ties. Euch of the sections t-:iper from their outer ends that is to say taper away from the border thereby producing a tie which is provided With Wide flowing outer ends and a comparatively narrow neck engaging portion. g

What isolaimed is The method of producinganeektie having a, fpointedborder, comprising' forming an- :i pointed-section, a tail-section und :in intermediute-seetion, und then placing vthe intermediate-Sedion between the pointed-sow' tion and tail-section, :1nd then scouring :lll ol' sind sections together.

In testimony whereof I hereunto :illx ymy signature in presence of two witnesses,
